Procedure
1. Log in to the standby CP blade as admin. If you need to know the IP address
of the standby blade, run ipaddrshow.
You should remain logged in to the active CP blade in order to monitor it.
2. Run firmwareDownload -s to download the firmware to the replacement
(standby) CP blade. The -s option also disables the autoreboot, so you will have
to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate
firmwarecommit. Enter all requested information (use default values).
3. When the download process finishes, run firmwareDownloadStatus to verify
that the firmware has been updated. The command displays a running account
of the progress of the firmwareDownload command (if it is still running) until
the command has completed. The final message is similar to the following and
will appear with a date and time stamp.
Slot 1 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully.
4. On the standby CP blade (the blade for which you just changed the firmware
level), run reboot. The reboot of the standby CP will initiate a firmwarecommit
to the secondary partition and log you out.
